I bought an american made strat a few years ago. its got a few upgraded bells n whistles , locking tuners, roller bearing nut, which both are a necessity if you plan on touching the stock tramolo . gold lace sensors , I've been told , are an upgrade as well??? not so much in my book, far 2 mello 4 me. i'm thinkin bout slappin some hotrails in there 2 see what Seymor can do bout givin me a bit more bite. n i wanna bring both tone controls out of one pod (bottom) so i can bump the volume knob down n out of my way. consistently involentarily turning it down.
however b4 i go customizing it 2 suit my needs i need 2 know where i can enter the serial # & potentially find the value/signature of the axe. (i was told Clapton had a hand in its design.. dunno)
jumpin back a paragraph,.. I recently read of the first meeting of guitar greats , one Randall Rhoads n E.V.H. somewhere round hollywood. where randy n b.f.f. Kelly Garnet went 2 see Eddie play. Randy was amazed that throughout Eds "smoke n mirrors" style , he was able 2 use the stock strat tremmolo & keep it in tune. after the show backstage eds reply 2 randys inquiry on the subject, went something 2 the effect of-" Jeff Beck showed me that trick... n theres no way I'm showin you..." fact er fiction is irrelivant .. I'm sure it can be done, obviously its not so common of knowledge or we wouldnt know who Floyd rose is... any feedback would be cherrished 4 all my years..
